It's hard to know without seeing it.

Thinking about how the letters would look, if it was the "old-fashioned" writing, it could be feeble ie the s could be an f, if you see what I mean.

Does sound like it might be simpleton

One of mine charmingly said "Idiot" Well when that 'idiot' grew up he married and had a child, held down a reasonable job and lied about his age so that he could go to war (he said he was 35 when he was 45, before they raised the age) Makes you wonder how they classify these things.

Good evening everyone! I have a question (perhaps even a riddle) and i was wondering if anyone could offer their advice? I have a census here and in the last box where it says:
(1) Deaf and Dumb
(2) Blind
(3) Lunati
(4) Imbecile, Feeble minded.

There has been something written for a 14 year old school boy, it appears as though it begins with an S, then possibly a U, a letter that looks like a P or a G , then a tall letter such as an L or a T, followed by a couple of indisguishable smaller letters.

Does anyone know of any other information that was put in this box other than the demonstrated 1-4??

Thankyou, Kelly!
